USD/JPY Technical Analysis: confined between converging trend-lines

   “¢   Weaker US GDP print prompts fresh selling in the last hour from closer to a short-term descending trend-line resistance, constituting towards the formation of a pennant on the 4-hourly chart.

   “¢   A follow-through weakness below 200-period SMA on the said chart might accelerate the slide further towards another ascending trend-line support, coinciding with 55-day SMA.  

   “¢   Short-term technical indicators haven’t moved much in either direction and hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break before positioning for the next leg of directional move.
